Jordan has been in school a total of 11 days (this includes 2 half days) and I can not get over the amount of money that is asked to be spent already. I understand the purposes of fundraising and I really do support it, but good grief!! Just about every day there is something in her communications folder to buy...or a request to join something...not only are you putting out money for the normal stuff such as school clothes, supplies, snacks and lunch money...there is the Scholastic Book Club, Spirit Orders (Clothing with school logo), Market Day Fundraiser (food/snacks), Pizza Kit Fundraiser, Home & School League membership fee, candle fundraiser, cookie dough fundraiser.....and of course Picture day is coming. I think there was something else, but I can't think of it right now. I can't stand to not order when I DO know that all the money goes to buying school equipment, supplies, etc....but I think it's getting a bit ridiculous, considering it's only 11 days into the school year. Is this normal in your schools? I didn't know that I was going to have to take out a 2nd mortgage to fund our Kindergarten experience. LMAO And I bet it only gets worse, huh?
